is on the one hand, most people across the world don't have any second home, let alone one in the caribbeanhe images back up. to your point, it doesn't look like oh so amazingly glamorous that you'd have this beachfront view and you'd be enjoying the residence. i think you're speaking to the fact that it looks more like, okay, obviously they got a big plot of land here, but were people going down there? people who again, we have to remind everyone he had these rich individuals, we don't know which were clients or associates of the rest, but those were the type of people that could be at a place that was basically margaret. even nicer digs than this, even more modern. and so it feeds the idea that this was truly, as alleged, a place for sex crimes. and if that's true, the substantive question becomes, why isn't anyone else been charged for them? >> a lot of it is a mystery, because i won't get into the banking stuff now. but think about it wasn't the meal plan that got them. it had to be something other than since they were all rich, this piece of property. and wouldn't they be curious about

forces conducted a strike on a vessel in the caribbean. from his own public statements, we know that secretary hegseth authorized and oversaw the strike. according to press reports, the initial strike left survivors in the water clinging to the wreckage. and then, u.s. forces carried out a second strike on the vessel which killed the survivors. initially, as he often does, the secretary of defense and his office denied the reporting when it broke last weekend. but then on monday, white house press secretary caroline le leavitt, confirmed that, in fact, secretary hegseth did authorize these strikes and that admiral bradley, the operational commander did order a second strike. the white house has admitted what the secretary denied, and we cannot ignore what that means. the department of defense law of war manual states that members of the armed forces must refuse to comply with clearly illegal orders, including law of war violations. it even provides a definition and an example to avoid confusion. and i quote, for example, orders to fire upo
